Anurag helps Nana with cop role in Shagird

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who will be seen acting in forthcoming film Shagird, helped actor Nana Patekar in essaying the role of a cop, thanks to his meeting with late encounter specialist Rajbir Singh. Kashyap had once met Rajbir Singh before his demise in 2008.

So when Kashyap got to know that ACP Hanumant Singh, Nana's character in the film is inspired by Singh, he helped in defining the character of the encounter specialist to his co-star.
